He added: &#8220;The results occur over time and you really won&#8217;t get the final result even from a single treatment for as long as six months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interestingly, cosmetic surgeons have noted that the winter months appear to create an increased demand for laser treatments.
